Lance Armstrong could be ready to confess he was a serial drug cheat – so that he can compete in triathlons.

The disgraced former seven-times Tour de France winner is close to admitting to the findings of United States Anti-Doping Association’s damning report from which resulted in his lifetime ban from cycling.

Armstrong was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles over what was called “the most sophisticated, professionalised and successful doping programme that sport has ever seen”.

The Texan has since remained silent on the issue but decided not to appeal.

Lance has to speak for himself on that

Tim Herman

Armstrong, 41, has removed mention of his Tour wins from his Twitter profile.

It is believed he is considering an admission because he wants to resume his athletic career and has shown an interest in competing in triathlons, according to sources in the United States.

But asked whether Armstrong was set to come clean about his drug-taking past his lawyer, Tim Herman, told the New York Times: “Lance has to speak for himself on that.”
